Inevitably, when someone begins their investigation into what a Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty consists of, one of their first questions is usually about the nose job price. How does one determine how much is a fair price for this cosmetic surgery procedure?

While the question of how much rhinoplasty costs may seem to be an easy one, in all practicality, it is very difficult to answer how much nose job prices truly are because of the numerous variables which play a role in the total sum.

First Factor

There is numerous factors which determine what the final cost of nose surgery will be. The most obvious factor is the surgeon’s fee. Again, it is very difficult to provide a definitive figure due to the myriad of variables. For instance, the surgeon’s geographical location will play a major role in his fees. Obviously, a surgeon’s fees will be significantly higher in Beverly Hills than it would be in Macon, Georgia.

Another factor is the surgeon’s experience level. You can expect to pay more for a surgeon with25 years of experience than you can for a doctor with only a year of experience. Of course, in this case, you may be well to remember the adage, “You get what you pay for.” Personally, we are more than willing to pay a little extra, especially when it comes to our health. While there are no guarantees in the medical world, it only makes sense that you want the best person you could afford to perform cosmetic surgery on you.

The last factor (at least that directly involves the surgeon) that affects the final nose surgery pricing is the doctor’s skill level. Luckily for rhinoplasty candidates, it is easier than ever to determine the surgeon’s skill level. An individual simply can look online at pictures of past patients, since most specialists post pictures of their previous work online. While initially, it may sound like it is difficult to make online comparisons, it becomes very apparent which surgeon does the best work.

Other Cost Factors

Besides the surgeon’s fees, there are numerous other factors that affect the nose jobs prices. An example of one of these fees is the anesthesia facility’s fees. The anesthesiologist’s fees are considered a different expense from the surgeon’s fee. In addition to the anesthesia, you will also have to pay extra for the pain medication.

Also, you will be required to pay the operating facilities fees. Some doctors have their own operating suite, but most use either a local hospital or a designated operating facility. If your doctor uses a local hospital, the fees are more likely to be higher than if he was to use an operating facility or the surgeon’s operating suite.

Another factor that you will need to consider is the lab work and medical tests. Unfortunately, these items are also separate from the surgeon’s fees.

Rhinoplasty Payment

Before you step into the operating room, the surgeon will expect you to pay the nose surgery cost up front and in full. Not only will he or she want full payment, but the operating facility, anesthesiologist, and lab workers will also want to be paid before the nose job is performed. This is simply because once the procedure has been performed, it is impossible to reclaim the services that were provided. Unfortunately, since rhinoplasty is considered an elective cosmetic surgery procedure, most insurance companies will not pay for it. The only exception is that the nose job is needed for medical reasons. A good example of a medical reason is to correct a breathing problem, such as a deviated septum, which is causing breathing difficulty or sleep apnea.

Fortunately, there are numerous financing options available for those who would like to have a rhinoplasty but simple don’t have the funds available.

Lastly, before seeing the rhinoplasty surgeon for a consultation, it is important to note that, depending on the surgeon’s experience, you may have to pay for the consultation. While you may not want to pay the consultation fee, it is important that you talk with a certified surgeon to determine how much the actual Beverly Hills nose job will cost (the average cost of rhinoplasty should range somewhere between $3K and $8K) and what you can expect out of the procedure in terms of the final product.
